A nurse is preparing to administer hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg PO. The amount available is hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. (Do not use a trailing zero))
Correct answer
1 tablet
Rationale
25 mg ├À 50 mg/tablet = 0.5 tablets, but since tablets cannot be split without specific instructions, the nurse should administer 1 tablet as per standard practice.
